littleorphanalienThe holidays feel like the time when he misses Isobel the most.
Every time he sees decorations or cookies or hears carols, he thinks of her in all her ridiculous overblown holiday arranging glory. It had all been about appearances and making the town think she was the perfect wife, but the bottom line was that Isobel knew how to do Christmas and Michael was lucky if he threw up a few string-lights around the Airstream. Now that he had a family, he was struggling to figure out how to pack the holidays full of joy, even if he was trying his best.
The difference between most years and now is that Michael can call in the cavalry. It's why he'd gone for the next-best thing to Isobel, calling up Rapunzel and asking her to meet him by the shops, with a list of things he needs to get (and a lot of question marks beside them), because he's determined to give Alex and Luke the best first Christmas in their new house.
He's just missing, you know...help on how to do that.
